Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...

Whew am close myself to that... I hope @monicahesse.bsky.social survived but there are so many good people - hoping more folks fund the gofundme.

Working from home <> ability to care for children. We went through this during the pandemic - just because I am *home* does not mean I can do tasks around the house LET ALONE engage with a child properly. Folks who think women can (or should) do both do not understand childcare. And

If you are able, The Post's union has started a layoff fund for those fired by the world's fourth-richest man today. gofund.me/a310d0286

ALL OF THEM

In an ideal world, a good democrat should literally take ownership for good weather days and then blame republicans when the weather goes to shit. That's how we should be running the goddamn ball.

Carcosa is a state of mind bro.

An odd part of this article www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/... occurs near the end when Woodford starts to include stories from women she interviewed. One begins

Whistles are good. They work. They signal to folks who aren't participating that something is amiss. All of these are good things. Curious who in DC supports the alternative...

Such a great way to start the day:

and furthermore, it’s very clear that the two most important political tests for the senate in 2029 once we take it will be: 1. expanding the Supreme Court 2. Admitting PR/DC as states

This is an incredible goal maybe the luckiest / most improbable I have seen in years

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

Illustrator Chris Piascik has made several of his “Fuck ICE”/”No Kings” pieces available for free, high-res download. Print them out and use them for protest signs. (via @unlikelywords.bsky.social) [chrispiascik.com]

Fixing the typo is *always* more important

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

And DC representation!

Small quibble with point #1 and #2. If at the border I stop you and make you declare whether you are just visiting (visa) or wish to naturalize and go through a citizenship process - that isn't "open" but large numbers of voters in America would support that. Implementing this would immediately

yeah, so Fallout nailed it

Prolly a Enclave bot...

Seriously, if you've ever considered running for office, now's the time. Go check out @runforsomething.net. This is looking like a 25+ point swing in TEXAS -- nearly doubling the average +13 swing we've been seeing. Don't leave any seat unchallenged. Make the GOP spend all their resources.

For a very long time you did not need a passport to cross back and forth to Mexico and Canada. I am Gen X and El Paso folks my age remember crossing to drink in Mexico for the night and then coming back home. There are families who continued living in the same place when the border moved.

Dems need to demand Miller's removal as a condition of funding for DHS past the 2-week CR. There are two weeks for them to plaster this judge's ruling into their public statements, constituent newsletters, TV hits, and more.

I strongly endorse restaurants at airports to all be 24-7. Reduce staff but stay open and some tired travelers will pay whatever you ask. Call it midnight surge pricing if you have to!

Elect more Democrats & keep electing them. It's the only good voting advice left

Do you know how f*cked up you gotta act to get banned from Xbox Live in *in 2013*?

People keep saying "Getting arrested is bad, actually" and while I'd certainly prefer not to be, the administration's entire strategy is built around the idea that I will live in fear of it, and shape my behavior to avoid it, and cry in shame if I am. That is how THEY CONTROL YOU.

Catherine O'Hara, the actor who starred as Kate McCallister in “Home Alone,” has died at 71, TMZ reports

I certainly would not have been able to write my story about all the bravery I witnessed in Minneapolis without the access I was given! bsky.app/profile/whst...

this is insane and absolutely validates Will's skepticism of 'opsec' in mass movements

Eesh with the market tanking today, always weird to speculate what would have happened had Microsoft not *beat* the estimates from the street handily...

The violent occupation of Minneapolis started with a vlog. I've wanted to find a framework to describe Nick Shirley & others like him: "Influencer" is too quaint. "Journalist" is obviously wrong. I landed on "slopagandist." Gift link (open in a web browser) www.theverge.com/news/869824/...

What we need is for someone to buy the supercharger network - the greatest asset Tesla ever built - and truly run it for all electric vehicles as a subscription service. Lucid? Rivian? Some thirsty PE firm (ugh)?

Musk’s special adventure into politics has hurt “cash”-cow Tesla. It wasn’t over-promise-under-deliver (FSD, Roadster, Cybertruck, Robotaxi), it wasn’t that competitors caught up (only China and BMW have), it wasn’t the quality issues (OK ranking), it was buying a car made by a Nazi. Consumer power.

As a Tesla owner and shareholder this is gross negligence. We need a new CEO who is focused on the future of cars rather than politics and wishcasting.

I mean - I'd go Biden > Obama > Clinton > Bush 1 > Reagan > Bush 2 > Trump but wow that is depressing to type out

BREAKING The Two DHS agents who shot and killed Alex Pretti have been placed on administrative leave. Fox News Bill Melugin reports

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.

The thing here - if it were incredibly easy to obtain a visa to come to the US, and there were an equally easy process to naturalize as a citizen, you wouldn't need "amnesty" you could just say "hey you are now in line to be an official citizen!"

have come around to belief that there is no alternative except a blanket amnesty

as democrats, if we want to get immigration numbers back up to a reasonable level, we're going to have to do more than just go back to "the way things were." we're going to have to provide a real, reliable, fast pathway to CITIZENSHIP.

Guys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear

BREAKING: Two Republican senators, Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski, call for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.

Remember when folks smoked everywhere? EVERYWHERE? My god even in planes!!

The youngs don't remember the roadsides where you couldn't see the grass through the Styrofoam McDonalds boxes, but it wasn't that long ago. Amazing and nearly universal social change is not only possible but has occurred in your lifetime

love to see political people who have just won one tactical victory against an enemy that absolutely must lose immediately decide to set themselves to a fight they are going to lose and have no theory of victory for

He's also quoting Anne Frank on twitter

Indeed. Senate Dems don't even need to say "abolish ICE." They can do their obnoxious "we need to investigate this, come up with reforms" or whatever. But there is no good reason to rush to whatever compromise the GOP will accept. Dems have the advantage. Use it. Let the GOP stew in their problems.

This is, as far as I can tell, the very first contempt proceeding against an administrative official. Very long overdue.
